ENGLISH IISEPTEMBER 18, 2012

Let’s work on our next commas lesson.

WARM-UPInstead of writing this down, I’ll call on a

few people to help me do them at the ELMO projector:

ADD COMMAS WHERE NEEDED:1) My computer the blue one on the table has

not worked for weeks and needs to be sent back to Santa Clara California for repairs.

2) Whatever it is it is a very strange looking kind of a weird glowing serpentine object.

3) John Jones the suspect in this case must report to 17180 Arrow Highway Fontana California for his preliminary hearing.

4) I had a sad empty feeling when Heidi our exchange student went back to Stockholm Sweden.

5) There was a blue sunny sky when we left home this morning.

ARCHETYPES

An archetype is a situation, character, or image that appears again and again in literature and art. Example: the symbol of the four seasons

(spring, summer, autumn, and winter) are archetypes that appear over and over again in literature. What do the seasons

represent in art/literature? Can you think of other

archetypes?

ARCHETYPES Try to figure out what these other

common symbols or “archetypes” represent: The Joker Sunrise Princess Leia The color red A blind, wise old man A mountain top A main character’s dream

ARCHETYPES

In The Epic of Gilgamesh and other ancient tales, we see a reoccurring archetype: a flood that wipes out the human race.

Keep in mind that the Gilgamesh Epic was written far before the Bible and the cultures that wrote each story likely did not have any knowledge of one another.

Why would both include a story of a flood that destroys the human race? What would be the symbolism or deeper meaning/purpose of a flood story?

ARCHETYPES

Let’s take a look at the chart that you’ll fill out as we read “Noah and the Flood” in the textbook.
